With the initial ranking list set, it's time for the 2023 Character Cup prediction contest. For those new to the Character Cup, this is your chance to guess which characters will win each round. I highly urge you to enter because it's a lot of fun and absolutely free. The prediction contest is about who you think will win, NOT who you want to win. However, I have also created a wish list link so you can show who your favorites are in that one. If you have questions about either, please comment below. The prediction contest helps keep the Cup fun even if you don't have any characters in the polls that day.
Below you will find the official brackets and a ranked list of characters that made it into the Cup. This year, Rebecca Pearson had by far the most nominations - more than double any other nominee. Having made it to third place last year, will this be the year that she prevails?
Like last year, we are using Challonge to run the contest. You will have to put in an email address to create your bracket, but no one can see it. Feel free to make up a totally bogus address. The system does send out an e-mail announcing the winners at the end but I will post that info here, too. You have until 11 am CST on Sunday, June18 to complete your predictions. When the prediction phase ends, the Character Cup will begin. Good luck! Enter the contest through the link below:

Prediction Rules:
2. When titling your prediction, please use your Disqus or SpoilerTV name. If you do not have either, please use a name instead of something clever to identify yourself. That makes it easier to post who’s winning so far.
3. Your predictions can be edited up until predictions close.
4. All predictions must be finalized by 11 am CST on Sunday, June 18 to be eligible. Once the contest starts, no other predictions will be accepted.
5. The grand prize winner wins…bragging rights. Hey, I'm a teacher; I can't afford cool prizes. Last year, Luana Arturi won. Good luck to all!
